An expert explains and analyzes the beloved art formAn iconic symbol of Spain, flamenco has become a global phenomenon. Peter Manuel offers English-language readers a rare portrait of the music s history, styles, and cultural impact.

An investigation of flamenco s major song-types looks at rhythm and compas, guitar technique, and many other aspects of the music while Manuel s description and analysis of the repertoire range from soleares and bulerias to tangos. His overview of contemporary flamenco culture provides insight into issues that surround the music, including globalization, gender dynamics, notions of ownership, and the ongoing debates on purity versus innovation and the relative roles played by Gitanos and non-Gitanos.Multifaceted and entertaining, Flamenco Music is an in-depth study of the indelible art form that inspires enthusiasts and practitioners around the world.
